OPINION IN WETZEL.

WETzEI., JUNE 25th.-I have been
reading the DEMOCRAT regularly for
over year and cannot, with my
limited perception, find anything in
its columns to condemn. Your pos
ition on the tariff, though not in ac
cord with the of. hand views Of many
republicans and many democrats
here, seems irresistible. However
like the bulk Of voters. l do not feel
competent to act on my own opinion
in this matter. Your arguments
have considerably upset the views /
once entertained. This has also
been the effect to a considerable do
gree among others here who we're in
favor of the projection doctrine, ]
cannot see why any one in the least
interested In the affairs Of this State
should not endorse and increase the
circulation of your paper. 1t is GER
tainly the only paper that comes to

THE DEMOCRAT ANSWERED AND
ITS REPLY.

FAYETTE COUNTY, June 24.-You
are kind enough to notice my note of
the End and fair enough to publish
it with your reply. Whilst | know
the disadvantage l labor under in a
controversy with newspaper. lit is
like interrupting public speaker)
yet | will give some reasons for
thinking as / do, and with your per-
mission reply to your lecture. There
are two sides to the tariff question,
and whilst l may be one of the ''fools
blinded by unconscious ignorance"
/ confess l do not understand the
tariff question and, unfortunately for
the country, my predicament is that
of many others. Not understanding
it, am in favor of letting it alone.
Let the South get her share of pro-
lection for ten years and in that time
she will become as rich as the North.
Let the tariff continue as at present
for ten years and you will have not
only New York, but also all the
North Atlantic States in favor of
reduction, because the South having
the advantage of raw material, eli
mate, ETC., will outstrip the North in
manufacturing. The South has paid
tribute long enough and is now be-
ginning to manufacture on her own
account. You refer to Mexico as
high tariff country; l refer you to
Africa as q free trade country.
Neither OF them should be compared
to the u. S. We are working out
destiny that is incapable of compar-
isons, and could we look forward
fifty years it would astound us.
You wish to put raw material on
the free list. Your sagaciOus states
man, Mr.. Hewitt, favors this. Why?
Because he is largely interested in
the iron business; his works being
near the sea-coast, he can obtain for
eign ores cheaper than they can be
shipped to him from the interior by
rail. Now there is no dispnting the
fact that the Yirginias, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee and Alabama can,
and probably will, in few years,
supply all the pig iron at a less cost
than it can be obtained elsewhere.
because we all have the raw material
in close proximity. This develop
ment vii necessarily build all the
railroads needed. 1t will happen in
West Virginia as it has happened
elsewhere. Large steel and iron
plants will be established in this
State similar to those recently es-
tabished In Richmond, Knoxville,
Chattanooga and other places.
These works will bnild cities and

Sharp Found Guilty.

Jacob Sharp, recently tried in
New York on charge of bribery,
has been found guilty. After a trial
of thirty-four days, the jury returned
with their verdict thirteen minutes
after retiring, A motion will be
made for new trial.
The result of this trial will greatly
encourage the friends of reform, and
will teach a lesson not soon to be
forgotten by those who endcavor to
corrupt public officers by the use of
money. 1t goes to prove that public
sentiment has been aroused, and has
triumphed over all the influence
that a man worth millions could use
to shield himself from we'll merited
punishment. The time has come
when the corrupt use of money will
meet with the punishment it so rich
10 deserves, and the halls of legisla-
tions and the chambers of municipal
councils will be freed from those
barnacles that have been so long
fastened upon them.
Let the lesson of Sharp's convic-
ton be remembered in this State,
and many evils from which we now
suffer will be averted.
1t would be very fortunate for the
country if there could be some con-
victions of persons who have bribed
members of the Legislature and Con-
gress at the bidding of the railroad
kings 1t will be reccollected that
Huntington recently testified that
it cost his roads 100000 year 0to
explain things to members of Con-
gress." The average citizen will in.
quire why, investigation is not had
whenever bribery is suspected? The
reason is, the railroad lobby care
fully exclude from Legislature the
character of men who have the nerve,
ability and willingness to prosecute
work of this character. During the
session of our Legislature member
fit was told by railroad president:
mo politician has ever been success
full who antagonized railroad cor
poration in this State"

TALENT APPRECIATED.

A Louisville correspondent of the
Ca.rter-Journal writes as follows in
that paper:
One of the most successful and
popular educators in the Southwest
is Prof. w. y. Mcdonald, senior
Principal of the Rugby School. 1t
is rumored that he has gone East, at
the earnest solicitation of friends, to
accept better position than that
which he has long filled so accepta-
bly, to his patrons in this city. Lou
isville can i'll afford to lose so good
a Citizen and go able man, fitted as
he is by education (being an A. NJ.
ofthc University of Yirginia) as well
as by an experience of thirty years
in teaching, for the most finished
work in the line of his profession.
Hundreds of Kentucky boys can
testify to his fidelity, impartiality
and ability as teacher, he having
taught not less than two thousand
of them in the Male High School
and the Rugby; one Of the most at
tractiye features of the latter being
the class of collegiate grade in His
tory and English taught by him.
The school history written by l. S.
Blackburn and himself has been ex-
tensively used, being now in Its six.
teenth edition.

principle that l do when l make

toned only to lying, and being them
selves ready for any villainy, they
do not consider the mass of voters

The consequence is, they are looked
upon with degree of contempt that
no words can express. So far as
my observation goes, there is a grow
ing disposition to clean out the men
who have been running the. politics
of this county and take up men who
do not lie and sneak. This will be
done or else honest people will re-
frain from voting. l for one cannot

Guffy, he was elected in 1857 to the
Profcssorship of History and Eng
lisl in the Louisville Male High
School, where he gave such satisfac-
ton as to be promoted to be Princi
pal of the school. At the breaking
out of the war he returned to his
native State, Virginia, and served as
private in the Stonewall Brigade
during the following four years, af-
ter which he availed himself of his
fine education, his only capital, to
open school for young men in the
Valley Of Virginia. Urged by his
former patrons and "boys," he re-
turned to Kentucky to the same po-
sition he had resigned in the High
School; and afterwards, in connec-
ton with his brother, A. l.. McDon-
aid, founded the Rugby School,
which has been the most prosperous
day school in the State.
His taste for historical research
and classic lore has led him to pre-
pare histories of PbGnicia, Judea,
Assyria and Egypt, designed to
show how the Scriptural records are
corroborated by the traditions and
monumental inscriptions of those
countries; also, a Historical Gram
mar of the English language. To
these labors he added for two years
the editorial duties Of the Southern
Biroaac, by which he is favorably
known through the South.
His numerous friends in this
State would regret his departure,
vet their best wishes will follow him
to any new field of Labor, and the
institution securing his services
will command large patronage
from Kentucky.

During the early part of Mr..

Senate, fancy wrote letter in
which, after stating that he was in
entire accord with those opposed to
Camden's reelection, he said:

Whatever may be the facts in re-

fancy will certainly supercede Ad-
olson IN the public schools.
Poor Taney is the common butt
and laughing stock of Wheeling.
His countenance wears perplexed
look of morbid bewilderment, and
one is puzzled to decide whether his
troubled visage is the reflex of natu-
raj stupidity or the involuntary
twitching of the facial muscles to
hide mean and groveling DISPOSE
ton. Truly, poor fancy would be
an object of universal comm:seration
if he had the faintest conception of
how ridiculous he appears TO men OF
intelligence. The skunk finds as
much pleasure in the fetid fluid it is
able to secrete as Daniel Webster
found in the homage Boston render
ed to his intellect. So it is with poor
fancy; he imagines that something
of notoriety may be achieved by at
tempting to spatter with senseless
falsehoods gentlemen to gain admit
tance to whose parlors he would
crawl on his knees for so yards.
Fortunately the affairs of this world
are so ordered that a newspaper is
powerless to prejudice gentleman
unless its editor is man of honor
and approved personal integrity.

but no grubworm has ever yet been
able to injure the eagle.
